Tip of the Day - 3/11

Tempo is a real buss word in no huddle circles.  Controlling the tempo is the goal and most teams do a decent job of doing this.  The best teams, however, have learned to catch the defense leaning on the pace using a "chatter" concept.  When this is called, the team will go to the line just like before and go through the cadence with no play called.  This eliminates the chances of you jumping and almost ensures that they will.  We have had great success to the tune of 2 to 3 false starts for the defense per game.  I would suggest adding this concept to your system if you haven't already. There is nothing like 5 free yards.
